By day, they were the masterminds behind America’s most lavish real estate transactions; by night, they reveled as if they were invincible playboys. Tal and Oren Alexander, the charismatic duo of the property world, carved a niche by brokering high-stakes deals for celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, and financial mogul Ken Griffin.

These dashing brothers didn’t just sell luxury; they lived it. Their substantial earnings funded a lifestyle of private jets and opulent homes in both New York and Miami. Their glamorous escapades—captured in Instagram posts—spanned locales from Mykonos to Art Basel and the Super Bowl, projecting an image of untouchable affluence.

“We are on top of the game,” Oren, at 37, confidently declared to his brother Tal, 38, in a 2021 text message. “Only thing can bring us down is some hoe complaining.”

Yet, those words, heavy with arrogance and disrespect, now overshadow the Alexander brothers as they stand accused in a federal court. Facing grave charges of sex trafficking, they confront the possibility of life imprisonment, a stark contrast to their once glittering public personas.

‘Only thing can bring us down is some hoe complaining.’

Those words, dripping with hubris and misogyny, now hang over the Alexander brothers as they face trial on federal sex trafficking charges that could put them behind bars for life.

Dozens of women have indeed come forward to complain they were drugged and violently raped by Tal, Oren and Oren’s identical twin Alon, 37, during two decades of alleged depravity.

Prosecutors say the brothers exploited their status as realtors-to-the-stars to lure women they met on social media or dating apps to swish hotels and vacation spots in the Hamptons, Miami and Tulum, Mexico.

The Alexander brothers’ untouchable real estate empire and notorious playboy image have been irreversibly shaken as their sex trafficking trialwhich is set to begin Tuesday

Before being accused of drugging and raping dozens of women, the brothers lived a lavish life of private jets and luxury homes in New York and Miami

Once there, they allegedly plied their multiple victims – including an underage girl – with cocaine, mushrooms or GHB before pouncing individually or sometimes together.

Several women told investigators they lost the ability to move, talk or fight back after their drinks were spiked.

Some of the encounters were photographed and filmed with a camcorder, according to prosecutors, who will likely play the sordid clips. Jury selection for the trial in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, starts Tuesday.

‘Numerous victims describe being physically restrained or held down while being raped by the defendants, and likewise describe the rapes as aggressive and violent,’ the government alleges in court filings.

‘Multiple women described being terrified that the Alexander Brothers were going to hurt or even kill them – these victims’ only goal in that moment became to survive.’

The Alexanders have maintained their innocence on all criminal charges since their December 11, 2024, arrests.

Their lawyers asked a New York federal judge to toss the indictment, arguing offenses akin to ‘date rape’ allegations were better suited to state court.

‘As much as defendants want to characterize the charged conduct as just men behaving badly, that is not what the indictment charges,’ Judge Valerie Caproni pushed back in an October 17 opinion.

She dismissed one sex trafficking charge but said the trial should proceed.

The ruling left the millionaire siblings stewing inside Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center – the notorious jail that also houses CEO-killing suspect Luigi Mangione and former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

The Alexanders’ meteoric rise and fall began in Miami where they were raised by enterprising Israeli immigrants Shlomy and Orly Alexander.

The couple arrived in the US virtually penniless in 1982 but built a successful security company and a property business.

In 1990, they purchased a Bal Harbour mansion now valued at $18million.

The brothers attended Dr. Michael M. Krop High School in the early 2000s where prosecutors say their predatory behaviour first surfaced.

According to court documents, the trio plied teen girls with alcohol and took part in sexual violence and gang rapes.

Tal is said to have bragged about ‘running train’ – slang for multiple males having sex with a female one after the other.

Their lawyers asked a federal judge to dismiss the case, but she dropped one sex trafficking charge and kept the trial for January 26, leaving the millionaire brothers in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, also home to CEO-killing suspect Luigi Mangione 

In his senior yearbook Oren listed his most memorable high school moment as ‘riding my first choo-choo train’.

After graduating he moved to New York in 2009 and landed a coveted job at elite real estate brokerage, Douglas Elliman.

Tal followed, and in 2012 they formed The Alexander Team, their reputation soaring as high as the penthouse apartments they snagged for rich clients.

That year they flipped their family’s home on Miami’s Indian Creek Island for a record $47million and continued lining up mega deals for the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Liam Gallagher and Tommy Hilfiger.

Oren was listed as the agent for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s acquisition of a $24million mega mansion on the same ritzy enclave in 2021, according to reports.

The brothers also helped Kanye West purchase a sumptuous $14million Miami condo in 2018 for his then-wife, Kim Kardashian.

By far their biggest splash, however, was brokering the sale of a $238million Central Park South penthouse to Citadel founder Ken Griffin in 2019 – the most expensive residential sale in US history at the time.

Alon worked for the family security firm but was a constant fixture at his brothers’ side as they jetted to Tulum and the Bahamas and threw parties in the Hamptons packed with ‘hot chicks’ flown in by promoters.

FBI raids would later uncover WhatsApp chats where the trio allegedly discussed ‘imports’ of women and plans to loosen them up with cocaine, mushrooms and G – street name for the date rape drug GHB.

Before their downfall, brothers Oren and Tal joined luxury real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman, landing elite clients including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s $24million Indian Creek Island mega mansion, which Oren listed in 2021

In a 2016 ‘Lions in Tulum’ group chat, they haggled with an unnamed associate over flights, orgies and the need for ‘a good ROI’ – return on investment.

‘There should be a fee per bang and after bang,’ Alon allegedly wrote. Oren told the friend: ‘Just warn him ur boys are hungry.’

Prosecutors say the brothers used the same ‘playbook’ on beautiful women they chanced upon at parties and clubs.

‘In most instances, victims reported that one of the defendants gave them a drink – either at the club or social event or back at the defendants’ shared apartment in New York City,’ court filings allege.

‘After imbibing the drink, the victims experienced symptoms consistent with being unwittingly dosed with a substance that impaired their physical capacity, including their ability to move, and/or memories.

‘Many victims told the brothers “no” or even screamed while the rapes were happening but, on each occasion, the defendants ignored any verbal resistance.’

When women did complain they were threatened with defamation suits, prosecutors allege in court filings.

When multiple lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct were filed in 2024 the brothers are said to have compiled dossiers on their victims ‘as part of an apparent attempt to discredit their accusers.’

Despite Alon and Oren owning waterfront Miami Beach homes (pictured) and family properties in Bal Harbour, Aspen, Israel and the Bahamas, their assets weren’t enough to secure release from prison 

Despite family holdings that include waterfront mansions in Bal Harbour and Miami Beach, a 48-acre Aspen ranch and homes in Israel and the Bahamas, the trio have been locked up for the past year.

Even a jaw-dropping $115million pledge from Shlomy and Orly failed to secure Tal’s release at a December 2024 bail hearing.

The family’s enormous wealth made the brothers more of a flight risk, not less, it was ruled.

‘Alon and Oren even live in private residences with direct water access to the Atlantic Ocean,’ the government argued.

‘All three defendants regularly fly on private jets, a means of travel that is more difficult for law enforcement to track.

‘In short, if the defendants wanted to flee, they have the means to do so quickly and without detection.’

Tal, Oren and Alon face 15 years to life in prison if they’re convicted of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion between 2008 and 2021.

Alon and Oren claim to have passed lie detector tests administered by a former FBI agent to prove they didn’t drug anyone.

Their lawyers insist they will produce evidence at trial that ‘undermines nearly every aspect of the alleged victims’ narratives.’

Attorney Richard Klugh, who represents Oren, told the Daily Mail: ‘By taking and passing polygraph examinations, they have made clear their willingness to prove that claims of improper or nonconsensual contact are erroneous.

‘The trial will give them an opportunity to show that the charges are unfounded.’

The trio are repped by communications expert Juda Engelmayer, whose clients includes Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Harvey Weinstein.

Engelmayer said the alleged criminality took place years before the Alexanders established themselves as superstar realtors.

It was only when they became wealthy and influential that lawyers began ‘victim shopping’ for women willing to make years-old claims against them, he argued.

‘These were party kids just out of school who liked to have a good time and they are calling that trafficking,’ Engelmayer told the Daily Mail.

‘I think the jury is going to see that there’s no evidence of drugging, there’s no evidence of raping, there’s no evidence of physical abuse.’
